The web is shiny. The stuff which keeps the web running is unglamorous plumbing. I'm a plumber. If you have some weird hardware which needs a driver, I can do that. If you're a company which has a big code depot and needs a better way to build it, I'll make a better build tool. You might have a greenhouse full of bar-coded experiments and need some way to track all of those data points. Yep, me again.

http://rachelbythebay.com/bb/ - C++ depot build tool. Why specify dependencies twice? #include should be all you need. Can you build a large project without writing rules in some build language (Makefile and friends)? I can. Can you add new files to your depot without having to go back to that build language to teach it about them? Yep, I can do that too.

Back-End
Django, Twisted, Flask, Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, ASP.NET MVC 3 (Yeah, we know, but it was a Fortune 500 company) , BackBone.js, Node.js, and Ember.js
Front-end
Bootstrap, Less.js, JQuery, Skeleton, Foundation, Cappuccino, Knockout, and Spine
Mobile Development
We have worked with iOS, Android, and Win Phone 8, developing 4 to 5 star applications that have 1 to 5 million downloads.
Examples
-> Re-designed a front-end as well as a back-end for a property management entity that has ~3 billion in assets.
-> Re-worked a ticket-reselling site that does $150MM in revenue in Rails (again front-end and back-end)
-> Developed an Android and iOS application that has ~4.5
stars and more than 5 million downloads combined for a start-up that had an idea but no technical staff at hand.
-> Developed an iOS Daily Deals app, again for someone who had an idea but no technical staff at hand. This app was acquired by a Chinese company for their locals for the low 8 figures.
If you have an idea, we usually can take it from storyboard to implementation for < 100k.
I'm looking for a talented, self-managing back-end PHP developer who has experience with the Lithium PHP framework. Communication skills and fast learning are a must.
Our site is a fast-growing pet product discount site with thousands of active members and real revenue every day. We've built the site solidly and with growth in mind, and now it's time to make that growth happen and I need more dev resources!
Tech stack on this project is Lithium on PHP 5.4, MySQL, Apache, on EC2 with ELB, etc. We are open to embracing additional AWS (and other) solutions as we scale up.
I'm a back-end developer myself, and our small team has a terrific designer/front-ender and another back-ender. Compensation can be hourly or by monthly retainer, and there will be performance-based bonuses as we hit deadlines and deliver terrific features.
Please shoot me an email at joshchurgin at g mail dot com if this interests you. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hey everyone, I'm starting a weekly newsletter for freelancers. It will be a weekly roundup of useful articles, resources and job postings for freelance programmers. I'll personally curate it, so you can be assured the quality is high (see my profile and HN history to be sure).
FWIW, I had a few interactions with roland over a github pull request for a project I maintain, he seems to really grok open source and to be a straight to the point and professional guy.
Nothing yet, last time I posted I had a few people asking me to co tact them for ROR and JS work. They said their contact details were in their profile, so I can only guess that they had a twisted sense of humor?

SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area - Remote or Local - Long or Short Term Projects
I'm a full-stack Java and Rails developer as well as a published mobile app developer.
Web/Back-End Development - An expert in Java and Rails environments. Comfortable with web development, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Significant JavaScript experience, including client-side MV* with Backbone.js and Ember.js as well as back-end Javascript with Node.js.
Mobile Development - Have deployed multiple apps across iOS and Android platforms for phones and tablets. Experienced in both native (iOS, Android) and cross-platform HTML (Sencha Touch, JQuery Mobile) development.
I am a software engineer who focuses on Android development. Within the last 2 years, I have worked on projects for for small and large startups, as well as for brands such as AT&T, Anheuser Busch and Victoria Secret. Within that period I have completed over seven apps and two mobile SDKs. I am deeply passionate about mobile development and creating top-notch experiences.
What can I do for you? Here are some things I specialize in:
* iOS to Android Ports. Do you have an iOS app that you want to port to Android? I can take the existing iOS experience, modify it to conform to Android standards and deliver a polished high-quality Android app. I have done this successfully for multiple clients such Gving and Snapr (see my portfolio below [1]).
* Web Apps. Do you have a mobile site that you want to convert to an app? I can package the mobile web content and create a mobile app using a standard solution like PhoneGap or a custom web wrapper. For more advanced projects I can create a hybrid app that combines the best of the web and native worlds to fully access all the capabilities of the mobile device. Some sample projects in this category include JackThreads and Snapr (see my portfolio below [1]).
* App Rescue and App Optimization. Do you have an Android app that isn't quite working? Perhaps it crashes, it's slow or has other problems? I can perform a complete analysis, diagnose the issues and quickly fix them. For a sample project in this category see Loc8te in my portfolio below [1].
* SDKs. Do you have some awesome stuff that you want everyone to use in their own apps? I can put together a feature rich SDK that lets other developers easily access your app's functionality / services. I have done this for Snapr and Loc8te (see my portfolio below [1]).
Feel free to get in touch. My portfolio and email are listed below.
SEEKING WORK - Remote/Freelance Python/Django/jQuery, with extensive experience building e-commerce marketplaces. I have a research background, data analysis, playing around with NLP right now. I run a django dev shop, currently taking gigs for it. Here's my portfolio:
- Eleven years of professional experience in scientific software development, including application development, requirements definition, testing, profiling, optimization, performance tuning, refactoring, and continuous integration.
- Experience with scientific computing, high-performance cluster computing, computational geometry, computational topology, computer vision, high-performance computer graphics, machine learning, GUI programming, web development, and bioinformatics.
- Strong understanding of object-oriented and imperative/functional programming principles. Extensive mathematics and advanced computer science background (PhD, MS in computer science).
- Advanced Scala development skills. Experience includes Scalaz, Shapeless, Akka, Slick, and Reactive-Core.
I'm looking for something around 1-3 days/week since my startup's taking longer to generate revenue than I thought (such is the life).
My background is in quantitative development but for the past 18 months I've been developing pretty much full stack using Python/R/Django/Flask/jQuery/MySQL/MongoDB/AWS to build Pressi (http://getpressi.com/dan) and Makers Alley (https://makersalley.com/). I've recently been getting up to speed on the JS side of things (Node.js/AngularJS/EmberJS) but am definitely as productive with them as I am with Python. Forgot to mention that I've also done a ton of work with the various social media APIs.
I blog at http://dangoldin.com/ and also have a bunch of other projects on there for anyone interested.
I know I'm not the best coder from a best practices standpoint but I pride on getting things out quickly (which is cheaper!) and iterating on them when needed. My strength is on the prototyping side rather than building and maintaining long term projects.
Also - I enjoy just meeting and chatting with people so if you're interested in getting coffee or a beer let me know - dangoldin gmail.
We require a senior PHP developer to take over a project at short notice. The role will require you to work in our London office for around 4 weeks. The project is a complex web application holding financial information, and requires somebody with strong skills in OOP PHP5, Zend Framework 2, and MySQL. Experience with Symfony2 or Zend Framework 1 is a plus, and may form a suitable replacement if the candidate is willing to pick up ZF2 very quickly.
The role requires someone who can work quickly and methodically to a very high standard, and to tight deadlines. You will also need to enforce and comply with design patterns where necessary. It is an immediate start - handover will begin on Monday 17th. We offer a very competitive daily rate.
Key requirements:
-- Highly proficient in Zend Framework 2 (or willingness to pick it up very quickly). The emphasis is on version 2, not 1, because they're very different.
-- Familiar with design patterns (Service Locator, abstraction, composition, adapters; general GoF patterns)
-- OOP PHP5
-- Solid knowledge of MySQL (normalisation, foreign key constraints, indexes)
-- Strong Apache 2 and Linux skills
-- Working knowledge of Git and Composer (dependency management)
-- Good knowledge of AJAX, jQuery and JavaScript
-- Experience working in an Agile working environment
We are a very small, very early stage startup improving some features on our product, a private social network.
Great experience in MVC and Azure is necessary.
There are two jobs:
I) Create the feature of event notification inside the site and the related email notifications service (the basic in any social network) using Azure and Sendgrid.
II) Reformulate the whole UI of the site. Great experience in MVC front-end is necessary. All the design is already created, the job is just reposition everything
SEEKING WORK - Chicago/Remote/Willing to travel within U.S.
Having trouble finding a UI/UX designer that fits within your budget?
My name is Shahed Khan, a UI/UX designer and freelancer based in Chicago, IL. I've co-founded two start-ups and realize that bootstrapping is one of the hardest things of running a start-up. If you're looking to build out the first version of your product, but don't have a boat load of money lying around to pay a freelancer, that's where I come in. I've been freelancing for a few years as a visual UI/UX designer. I have experience taking projects from idea to a full design ready to send off to the developer to make it a reality.
What I can offer:
* UI/UX design
* Creative branding
* iOS designing
* Web designing
* Android designing
* Wordpress Theme designing
* Responsive design (RWD)
* Search Engine Optimization
Please do not hesitate to send me an email, I'm more than happy to chat about what it is you're looking to build. I've attached a link to my portfolio and LinkedIn profile.
Portfolio - http://dribbble.com/shahed (There are a few projects I have not uploaded on Dribbble yet, so please feel free to email me asking for some of my other WIP (work in process).
Freelance developer based in the Brighton in the UK. I can travel to London but I usually prefer to work remotely.
I love working on MVPs and prototypes. I'd love to help you
turn your idea into reality.
I work in a range of languages but I usually choose Python when I have
a choice. I also do a lot of work in JavaScript. I have a range of
skills from web development to computer vision. I can help with Rich
JavaScript Applications and RESTful API design (see a talk I gave on
the subjects here[1]). I've been enjoying AngularJS recently, it makes
some things very easy and is a nice contrast with Backbone.JS (which I
also still use for other things).
A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV.
I have been shipping software for more than 10 years now and started freelancing a while back after my stint as a single founder. One of my first clients was a HN member for whom I did remote contract work for almost a couple of months.
I am proficient with Ruby on Rails and generally quite adept at picking up new technologies as per the needs of the product. I call myself a generalist, and if you are a non-technical person, I can handle most of the things for you that go in to building & launching a software product (including screen flows, server-side programming, system administration, analytics & a little bit of digital marketing.)
My last consulting assignment was related to conversion optimization(s) and driving growth for a startup in the education domain. I am up for any work that is challenging & stimulating. I'd prefer to pick up a long term remote work contract.
References from previous clients are available on request.
Please see my profile for the contact & other relevant information. Just drop a line to say hello, it's always good to interact with fellow HN members!

There are two jobs:
I) Create the feature of event notification inside the site and the related email notifications service (the basic in any social network) using Azure and Sendgrid.
II) Reformulate the whole UI of the site. Great experience in MVC front-end is necessary. All the design is already created, the job is just reposition everything

Having trouble finding a UI/UX designer that fits within your budget?
My name is Shahed Khan, a UI/UX designer and freelancer based in Chicago, IL. I've co-founded two start-ups and realize that bootstrapping is one of the hardest things of running a start-up. If you're looking to build out the first version of your product, but don't have a boat load of money lying around to pay a freelancer, that's where I come in. I've been freelancing for a few years as a visual UI/UX designer. I have experience taking projects from idea to a full design ready to send off to the developer to make it a reality.
What I can offer:
* UI/UX design
* Creative branding
* iOS designing
* Web designing
* Android designing
* Wordpress Theme designing
* Responsive design (RWD)
* Search Engine Optimization
Please do not hesitate to send me an email, I'm more than happy to chat about what it is you're looking to build. I've attached a link to my portfolio and LinkedIn profile.

Freelance developer based in the Brighton in the UK. I can travel to London but I usually prefer to work remotely.
I love working on MVPs and prototypes. I'd love to help you turn your idea into reality.
I work in a range of languages but I usually choose Python when I have a choice. I also do a lot of work in JavaScript. I have a range of skills from web development to computer vision. I can help with Rich JavaScript Applications and RESTful API design (see a talk I gave on the subjects here[1]). I've been enjoying AngularJS recently, it makes some things very easy and is a nice contrast with Backbone.JS (which I also still use for other things).
A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV.
Some samples of my code:
- An open source JavaScript library I wrote: https://github.com/dharmafly/jsonpatch.js
- The Amazon Glacier support I contributed to Boto (popular Python library): https://github.com/almost/boto/tree/glacier/boto/glacier
Please do get in touch!

I have been shipping software for more than 10 years now and started freelancing a while back after my stint as a single founder. One of my first clients was a HN member for whom I did remote contract work for almost a couple of months.
I am proficient with Ruby on Rails and generally quite adept at picking up new technologies as per the needs of the product. I call myself a generalist, and if you are a non-technical person, I can handle most of the things for you that go in to building & launching a software product (including screen flows, server-side programming, system administration, analytics & a little bit of digital marketing.)
My last consulting assignment was related to conversion optimization(s) and driving growth for a startup in the education domain. I am up for any work that is challenging & stimulating. I'd prefer to pick up a long term remote work contract.
References from previous clients are available on request.
Please see my profile for the contact & other relevant information. Just drop a line to say hello, it's always good to interact with fellow HN members!
